The Cambodia Climate Change Alliance (CCCA) is an initiative led by the Ministry of Environment (MoE) and supported by the European Union (EU), the Governments of Denmark and Sweden and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). 2. CCCA established and operates a Trust Fund that is designed to serve as a single engagement point for both donors and organizations interested in submitting project proposals related to climate adaptation. Eight pilot projects were selected for support following a first call for proposals in February 2011, with grantees receiving funding between US$ 150,000 (for NGOs) and US$ 300,000 (as the upper limit for government agencies). The projects are being implemented by departments of line ministries, local government and NGOs and are currently scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2013. 3. In addition the CCCA is supporting a larger coastal adaptation and resilience planning project (CARP) designed to 4 increase resilience of coastal communities and ecosystems to climate change through adaptation planning, demonstrated targeted local interventions and provision of practical learning experience in adaptation planning to the National Climate Change Committee (NCCC)/ Climate Change Department (CCD)’. 4. This review is focused on the first set of pilot projects financed through the CCCA Trust Fund as well as the CARP project The overall objectives of the review are: • To review and assess overall progress of the funded project to date; • In the case of the coastal zone grant, to provide recommendations on any changes in approach that may be required to achieve the projects objectives; • To identify lessons for the CCCA Trust Fund in relation to the design, implementation, monitoring and management of the CCCA grants; • To identify lessons from projects, with potential for replication or inclusion in national or sectoral climate change policies 5. The review is organized in three sections. Section 1 provides an introduction to the CCCA grant mechanism and the purpose and scope of the review. Section 2 looks at the overall progress of the projects to date as including the effects that participation in the CCCA has had on grantee organizations. It is complemented by reviews of the individual reviews projects based on the review criteria of relevance, effectiveness, sustainability, efficiency, and impact (Annexes 6 & 7). Section 3 presents lessons for the CCCA Trust Fund, lessons from the demonstration projects, and recommendations for the ongoing CARP project. Lessons for the CCCA Trust Fund 6. The review found that the grant fund mechanisms and support of the Trust Fund Secretariat (TFS) has functioned well and been largely appreciated by the first round of grant recipients. The support provided by the TFS has been steadily strengthened during the first round of projects started in October 2011 including through augmentation and reorientation of staffing and through streamlining of processes. The Secretariat personnel has been receptive to the concerns of grantees, has adapted it processes and has used experience from the first round of grants to strengthen its support to the second round of grant projects. 7. Regarding timing, the review

In 2017, the Independent Office of Evaluation of IFAD (IOE) undertook the first country strategy and programme evaluation (CSPE) for the Kingdom of Cambodia. The CSPE reviewed the evolution of the strategy, results and performance of the partnership between IFAD and the Royal Government of Cambodia since the Fund started operations in 1997, but with a focus on the last decade, particularly with respect to the investment portfolio. The CSPE covers the investment portfolio (seven projects that were approved between 2000 and 2016), complementary (non-lending) activities (knowledge management, partnership-building and policy dialogue, including grants), as well as country programme strategy and management. 2. Objectives. The CSPE had two main objectives: (i) to assess the results and performance of the IFAD-financed strategy and programme; and (ii) to generate findings and recommendations for the future partnership between IFAD and the RoyalGovernment of Cambodia for enhanced development effectiveness and rural poverty eradication.

  • FNN Supports Farmer-To-Farmer Exchange Visits to Prey Veng Province
    FNN Supports Farmer-to-Farmer Exchange visits to Prey Veng province PREY VENG PROVINCE: Two farmer-to-farmer exchange visits were made for representatives of farmer cooperatives from four target districts, which included Prey Kabas, Tramkak, Samrong and Bati, of Takeo province from December 24 to 25, 2014. Both exchange visits were organized by FNN under financial support from WeEffcet (former Swedish Cooperative Centre). The focuses of the exchanges were to see successful leadership and management of self-help saving associations and rice mill cooperatives and provide information for visitors interested in expanding export capacity of organic rice from Cambodia to USA, Germany, Hong Kong and so on. All visitors also participated in a Development Dialogue organized by FNN’s district network of Sithor Kandal on December 25, which funded by Bread for the World (Bfdw) and self-contribution by members within the district. First group visited self-help saving association and rice mill cooperative in Kamchay Mear district and second group visited self-help saving association and rice mill cooperative in Sithor Kandal district in order to understand the context of successful experiences of leadership and management of the two FNN’s respective district networks. The visits were followed up by presentations to interested visitors at the saving community hall in Krabao commune of Kamchay Mear district and cooperative center of Russey Sanh commune of Sithor Kandal district, followed by a practical demonstration at the rice mill cooperative’s warehouse in Sithor Kandal district. Key technical issues that were addressed through the visits include: site selection of building community halls and cooperative rice mills and warehouses, successful experiences of board of directors of both district networks with regards to leadership and management (transparency, accountability, commitment and mobilization of collective/institutional funds) in order to guarantee and ensure organizational development and sustainability.

    Preface We, member of Cambodia Children and Young People Movement for Child Rights ( CCYMCR ) facilitated by Child Rights Foundation, are pleased inform you‐adults, and boys and girls who are working for the best interests of children and youth‐ that we have noticed that there are a significant number of organizations, associations, groups or clubs led by children and youth across Cambodia. We first published a directory in 2005. As a result, we had learned that there were 217 child or youth‐led organizations and clubs. We second published a directory in 2006. We had learned that there were 290 child or youth‐led organizations and clubs across Cambodia. However, we were not sure whether the number of these organizations, associations, groups and children and youth clubs was increasing or decreasing in 2010. In respond to lack of the above information, we have redone a research to find out the clear‐ structured organizations and children and youth clubs led by children and youth under 24 years of age, still in operation across Cambodia and having contact address in order to compile a directory of child and youth‐led organizations, associations, groups or clubs the third time. The result of this third research indicates that there are 717 organizations, associations, groups, children and youth clubs operating in Cambodia. CCYMCR will update this book in the coming year, and we do hope that children and youth clubs, which have not been listed in the book, will send us their information once the book is to compile again. The main objective of this research is to identify activities implemented by children or youth clubs so as to facilitate our future collaboration.
